Hook Mustad C53S 3xlong curved #12
Thread Veevus black

Rib medium gold wire
Abdomen Hareline trilobal Damsel green (tight) teased out (tied around the bend)
Thorax Hareline Senyo laser black , damsel green mix loose dub to pull or tease out to sparse wing size

This Mustad 3x long curved #12 is allows tying around the bend, maybe giving the tail the illusion of movement. Ill soon see what effects these Green Drake patterns have on the fish.

Thanks Steve

I'd sure like a box full of those. They are outstanding! I like the bodies you put on them.

Thanks...wool body ribbed with med. gold wire,thorax senyo laser dub (black ,silver minnow belly mix) teased out. Now for some duns and emergers.

Hoping these Green Drake Spinners are enough for tight quarters fishing around dusk and after Steve

...no explanation necessary!...the placement of your bead along with the wire rib will wonderfully present that nymph in a very visually appealing way...
Great tie!!

Hey there...my morning coffee was sweetened by the "pattern prose"
